I walked alone last night the air hit just right in the back of the car there's a suitcase I told myself that I'd do this life has a funny way of working out just when the habbit's formed it turns around wait, wait, wait, don't tell me you're found as I hear the sound it's you, it's us as the lightwaves begin to cut through the mud it's you, it's us could the filters remain in place as we lust?

summertime and I feel this way as the sky opens up heavens gone where I look right now what are you talking about? I do I do I do hold on summer's hit in the month of May made you believe when you left you restore my faith in humanity do you belong where you wept? I do I do I do hold on September nights, it's gonna be alright September nights, it's gonna be alright September nights, it's gonna be alright September nights, it's gonna be alright I do I do I do hold on

walk like you mean it today all I am is what I have to say 30 details later I've figured it out all I am is what I've talked about I do feel some have tunnel vision of the heart I do feel some have tunnel vision of the heart look for places where you are in every passing moment's a work of art exhaustion happens to all of us who try I got something that's better than eye for eye I do feel some have tunnel vision of the heart I do feel some have tunnel vision of the heart some have tunnel vision of the heart some have tunnel vision of the heart

The Only One 03:42
I thought that I heard you there but it was in my head at the bottom of despair and the records in the air tell me you're the only one for tell me there's no other one for tell me you're the only one for me don't go in too much needless things and such and the bottle never lies this is my own disguise tell me you're the only one for tell me there's no other one for tell me you're the only for me

Telephone 02:31
took the long way out of the city and the door closed in my face didn't even wait up for the county I've been given grace Took the long way looking around sometimes I'm caught up in my own world sometimes it's easier than trying oh I wish I found the light oh they say it comes and goes oh we're on the telephone
12.
don't wait there's no limit on this today don't care about what you say the windows closed anyway don't wait I gave it one more chance this is the final dance we're going to take a stand don't waste all these years away children go insane they can live their own way don't waste what the future holds for you sometimes it's the truth and it comes back to you you were there when we were young you were there these days are done we couldn't wait for seasons change now I see is the place? don't wait I wished we talked about the times thought about the times we lived our own route don't wait I wished you held my hand I wished you gave a damn sometimes I know I cant you were there when we were young you were there these days are done we couldn't wait these seasons change

Will You 05:55
solar glimpses on the hillside I forgot what we walking here for we were made believe any little thing eclipsing rocks up on the mountain will you share your space with me I need to know you're real wiIl you stay by my bed tonight I need to have your feel I've seen many miraculous things I've seen miracles in modern machines I've seen many people make their own kings in summer, winter, fall, and spring will you share your space with me I need to know you're real wiIl you stay by my bed tonight I need to have your feel will you share your space with me I need to know you're real wiIl you stay by my bed tonight I need to have your feel

about

Imagine a place of vibrant green amidst towering steel and concrete. A sanctuary in the heart of a bustling city, offering respite and fresh air. This is Central Park, and it serves as a powerful metaphor for the refuge we all seek in our lives.

This album is a reflection on that yearning for a "Central Park" – a space for growth, acceptance, and escape from the pressures of the everyday. Even for those far from the city, the park's essence resonates. As our lives become increasingly built and structured, where do we find those pockets of peace and nature?

The songs on this record delve into the messy beauty of coming-of-age. Some tracks began taking shape over two decades ago, a testament to the enduring themes of growth and self-discovery. This album celebrates the raw honesty of those early experiences, acknowledging that who we were shapes who we become. It's about finding peace with the past, embracing the journey, and stepping confidently into the present.

I'm incredibly proud to finally share this work with you. It's a reflection, a celebration, and an invitation to find your own "Central Park" – a source of solace and perspective in the whirlwind of life.
